What Is This Tool?
This converter helps you transform radiation absorbed dose measurements from millirad, a traditional unit, into decigray, an SI-derived metric that aligns with modern medical and environmental radiation assessments.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the numerical value in millirad you wish to convert
- Select millirad [mrd] as the input unit and decigray [dGy] as the output unit
- Click the convert button to see the result in decigray
- Use the provided examples for guidance if needed
Key Features
- Converts absorbed radiation dose values from millirad (mrd) to decigray (dGy)
- Utilizes a precise conversion rate for accurate unit transformation
- Supports dose reporting for clinical, environmental, and occupational contexts
- Browser-based tool requiring no installation
- Provides example conversions for user reference
Examples
- 10 millirad [mrd] is equal to 0.001 decigray [dGy]
- 500 millirad [mrd] converts to 0.05 decigray [dGy]
Common Use Cases
- Converting small or historical X-ray dose values into modern SI units
- Reporting and comparing low-level environmental or occupational radiation exposures
- Calibrating and specifying radiation survey meters and dosimeters that use legacy units
- Expressing radiotherapy fraction doses and treatment dose increments clearly
- Documenting intermediate clinical absorbed doses with finer granularity
Tips & Best Practices
- Always verify the context to choose the most appropriate unit for dose reporting
- Use this converter to standardize legacy rad-based values into SI units for better comparison
- Refer to the examples section to understand practical conversions before entering data
- Be aware of the unit limitations when dealing with very low or very high dose values
- Cross-check conversion results when precision is critical for clinical or calibration use
Limitations
- Millirad is a non-SI legacy unit that may involve rounding during conversion
- Decigray may be too large for very low-level dose measurements where microgray is preferred
- Accurate conversions depend on understanding legacy and SI unit equivalences precisely
Frequently Asked Questions
- Why convert from millirad to decigray?
- Converting from millirad to decigray allows expressing legacy or small absorbed radiation doses in a modern SI unit better suited for clinical and radiotherapy contexts.
- Is millirad an SI unit?
- No, millirad is a legacy unit from the CGS system and is not part of the International System of Units.
- When should I prefer decigray over gray?
- Decigray is useful for documenting dose increments or fractions in radiotherapy where finer dose granularity than gray is needed.
Key Terminology
- Millirad [mrd]
- A legacy CGS unit of absorbed radiation dose equal to one thousandth of a rad, used mainly for small absorbed doses and historical measurements.
- Decigray [dGy]
- An SI-derived unit representing one tenth of a gray, used for specifying absorbed radiation doses with finer granularity.
- Absorbed Dose
- The amount of energy deposited by ionizing radiation per unit mass of material.
